<p>The Government has consistently condemned the politically motivated conviction
of Vladimir Kara-Murza and called for his release. The conditions in the Omsk penal
colony are threatening Mr Kara-Murza's life and his health is deteriorating. He must
be released on humanitarian grounds for urgent medical treatment.</p><p>We continue
to seek consular access to Mr Kara-Murza. Russia has repeatedly denied this, not recognising
dual nationals as being in scope of our agreement on consular relations. Officials
in London and Moscow continue to raise concerns for Mr Kara-Murza's health with the
Russians. Mr Kara-Murza's family receive consular support.</p>
